Shoscombe Old Place: Wildflower

Canon Story: Shoscombe Old Place
Title: Wildflower
Author: hisietari
Rating: G
Warnings: cockroaches
Author's Notes: Racing cockroaches don't win because they're stronger, but because their body temperature and therefore metabolism rate etc. etc. are higher. Imagine the loving caresses necessary to achieve that...


The poor doctor had often glanced at the stables with a deep sigh of longing. So heartbroken he was that for his birthday I gave him a cockroach. Her name was Wildflower, and she won many a race. I’m just afraid that she did not have quite the effect on females of our species which a horse would have granted.

Thanks God that was never my problem *knocks on wood*, and I'm pretty sure that Holmes knows all the little tricks to prevent a Wildflower dynasty. ;P

Hahahaha, fabulous and funny.

Really?! I had absolutely no idea what to write for this one, which always ends in crude pet jokes.

This is brilliant - although I can see the drawbacks if trying to impress a lady.

I'd rather not like to imagine what kind of lady would feel attracted by a pet such as Wildflower.

I guess he always tried to see things from as many points of view as possible. =P

Maybe this just needs to be all in the framing. It's not just a racing cockroach, it's also an excellent betting opportunity. He got the doctor a ringer! ;)

I'm sure Holmes knew what he did. Dang, I hope so! *lol*
